Think of him what you want, but I think this nicely shows the problems that “gamers” will encounter when switching to linuxand gives a good view from outside the Linux community

I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened. But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real. Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.

That is 100% COSMIC jank. He chose Pop!_OS again and System76 has been annoyingly shipping a beta desktop environment on their stable distro. I like COSMIC and System76, but this is an annoying decision by them and Linus does shitty research so he doesn’t know he’s running beta software and he’ll associate this with Linux being janky again 🙄

Would the average user “do research” better?

The average user trying to switch to Linux? YES, they would. The average user like my mom? No, because she sure as shit doesn’t even know what Linux is nor how to make a bootable USB drive. I’m sick and tired of this cop out answer of the “average” user. This is like someone buying a car. Do you want to get a lemon? Sure, buy whatever “looks good” OR you do some RESEARCH and figure out what car to get from reliability reports. Do you think a Mac user wanting to switch to Windows won’t do any research?

If you feel like you need to reinstall Windows anyway, Trying out Linux is a pretty low bar if you’re curious. In that situation I think everything Linus did seems plausible.

Linux

!linux@lemmy.ml

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
